Well have to applaud the fact they are offering performance parts for Infiniti faithful ala F-sport. I hope they continue to follow Lexus and finally have a drivers event so we can drive them and notice the changes.

Not a fan of the add on kit, reminds me of the add on kit on the LS and Corolla.

Seems it has 348hp with the upgrades so hopefully its as fast as an IS 350 now. Wish it had more torque.

Whomever said IPL mean "I Prefer Lexus" "is a genius. :D

Aweful name "IPL"..."G37 IPL" sounds retarded...by a stock one and drop in the aftermarket parts yourself and save some money

Nice!

As a Luxury Brand in this day and age... You MUST have a complete performance line in order to compete... PERIOD!

TXSTYLE 08-12-10 11:20 AM

Of course... They could use MOAR power....! ;)

Not really feeling the aero upgrades or rims. The other stuff sounds nice.

I really don't care for the exterior upgrades too much or the interior changes. The power increase is very impressive though. I hope Lexus offers some power increases in the future with F-Sport.

the aero upgrades are WEAK.

the asians never seem to get it right with the proper aero upgrade.

look at mercedes and their AMG aero across the C, E, and S class.

BALLS OUT AERO, mean, tough, stance, all at the right places.

BMW M series aero....all across the board 3, 5, 7 series...all balls out tough, mean, aggressive yet well balanced, total tough stance at all the right places.

these german cars don't need to be massively slammed, a slight drop and rims get the juices flowing.

these infiniti aero upgrades look like a little ***** for lack of a better word!

if infiniti wants to compete against the M, AMG, and F, as stated in the article, im not so sure anything short of a V8 engine + 400hp would suffice. when i read this, i was thinking immediately of a median between the base G37 and the GTR, since both are from the nissan family.

Infiniti continues to be in a tough position .The Nissan GTR is more expensive by far than any Infiniti and it by far outperforms anything they make.

Not sure why they wont' just rebadge a GTR and add some luxury bits. :uh:

nissan should've been working on a camry killer rather than a GTR that makes the company zero profits.

i'd be pissed if i was a nissan shareholder.

but hey nissan has always been the "performance" oriented japanese car company so I guess that's what they wanted to do.

If anything is going to be labeled a Camry killer from Nissan then that's why the Altima exists. And thank goodness there's a GT-R.

this thing looks hideous. The top is curvy, and the bottom is jaggedy sharp, like a shovel

and performance is essentially by name only, unless they uncap the top speed limiter. extra 6 tq is only gonna make it 0.1 second faster to 60 maybe


"IPL" just sounds awkward. doesn't sound cool.
I Prefer Lexus,
I Prefer Losing,
I Pee Lemonade

LexFather 08-12-10 01:42 PM

^^^ Well the Altima has made great gains and while no sales killer to the Camry is tons better today than it used to be. It has been a great car to Nissan and they have an Altima coupe now.

Let me think about this for......

NO

Even though Infiniti offer some impressive numbers I find all their vehicles a little ugly now. They totally did a bad job on the M sedan exterior wise and the G37 are dime a dozen now. I honestly think I’ll never purchase Infiniti. Unless they make a luxury Godzilla.
